The device was not returned for evaluation.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history of the reported lot did not indicate a lot specific quality issue.The investigation determined the reported failure to deflate appears to be related to use error; however, the reported entrapment of device or device component and unexpected medical intervention appear to be related to circumstances of the procedure.It should be noted that the coronary dilatation catheters (cdc), nc trek rx, global instructions for use (ifu), specified that the contrast is 60% contrast medium diluted 1:1 with normal saline.In this case, it is likely that the concentrated contrast solution contributed to the reported failure to deflate.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respects to the design, manufacture, or labeling of the device.H6: device code 2017: improper or incorrect procedure or method.
